Welcome to the In re VNGR Beverage, LLC Litigation Settlement Website
Attention purchasers of Poppi sodas Between January 23, 2020 and July 18, 2025
The notice may affect your rights. Please read it carefully. A court has authorized the notice. This is not a solicitation from a lawyer.
- The notice concerns the following cases: In re VNGR Beverage, LLC Litigation, No. 4:24-cv-03229-HSG filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California; Cobbs v. VNGR Beverage, LLC, No. 4:24-cv-03229 filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California; Lesh, et al. v. VNGR Beverage, LLC, No. 3:24-cv-03612 filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California; and Wheeler v. VNGR Beverage, LLC, No. 4:24-cv-04396 filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California.
- This class action Settlement will completely resolve this lawsuit against VNGR Beverage, LLC d/b/a Poppi (“Defendant”), on behalf of all individuals in the United States who purchased any flavor or package size of Poppi beverages (the “Products”) for household use and not for resale or distribution between January 23, 2020 and July 18, 2025. The Settlement affects all persons in that category (the “Class Members”).
- To settle the case, Defendant has agreed to pay $8,900,000 into a Settlement Fund.
- Each member of the Class who submits an Approved Claim will receive a Class Payment up to as follows: seventy-five cents ($0.75) per Single Can Unit of the Product purchased; three dollars ($3.00) per 4-pack Unit of the Product purchased; six dollars ($6.00) per 8-pack Unit of the Product purchased; and nine dollars ($9.00) per 12-pack or 15-pack Unit of the Product purchased. A Class Member who does not provide valid Proof of Purchase shall recover a maximum of sixteen dollars ($16.00). The Minimum Class Payment for any Approved Claim shall be five dollars ($5.00) per Household. A “Household” eans any number of persons occupying the same dwelling unit. If multiple Claims are submitted from the same Household, those Claims shall be treated as a single Claim, including for purposes of determining the maximum Class Payment without Proof of Purchase. However, the Class Payment amount may be reduced or increased pro rata depending on the number of Approved Claims and the cost of other expenses paid out of the Settlement Fund. Any leftover funds after payment of Administrative and Notice Costs, Attorneys’ Fees and Expenses, payments to the Class Representatives, and payment of Approved Claims will go to a charitable organization.
- The lawyers who brought the lawsuit will ask the Court to set aside some of the Settlement Fund for reimbursement of their out-of-pocket expenses of up to $30,000 and no more than 30% of the Settlement Fund in attorneys’ fees for investigating the facts, litigating the case, and negotiating the Settlement. They will additionally ask for up to $15,000 in total for the three named Plaintiffs who brought this lawsuit. These payments are called “Service Awards.” If the Court approves, these amounts would be paid to Plaintiffs and the lawyers out of the Settlement Fund.
- The parties will also ask the Court to set aside an initial amount of the Settlement Fund to pay the Settlement Administrator, Verita Global LLC, for its services and costs for administering the Settlement (e.g., disseminating notice of the Settlement, processing Claims, and distributing Class Payments).
- Your legal rights are affected whether you act or don’t act. Read the notice carefully.
